Thanks for the update!UPDATE:
The specialist that we finally managed to see decided Ray has an oral infection under his tongue that's making him not want to eat!
I had no idea and now it's been pointed out, it was pretty obvious if I'd just known what I was looking for. DUH! He's been given antibiotics, a liquid to slowly and careful syringe into his mouth, I've been told to slowly drip it on his tongue so he doesn't aspirate.
A new house has been ordered, a 4×8 shed that I'm going to insulate myself, my dad will build a secure lamp stand so I can raise and lower Ray's lights when needed. I've also got a camera and digital thermometer with a minimum and maximum alarm so I know immediately if the temperatures fluctuate.
Also, both my CHEs will be controlled by thermostats, no more heat mats, got him a lot of coir soil and mulch so it's deeper.
His back legs seem weak possibly due to MBD and I've been told to give calcium powder a try with his salad, his UVB (Arcadia T5 pro) will be lowered and an outdoor pen will be put together with actual grass and substrate for when the warmer days come around. All will be rodent and cat proofed.
Can anyone see anything that I've missed? Please be as picky as you can! I have to get this right before winter
For the shed, I suggest having a look for some threads on how people go about heating them, I believe it’ll take more than the bulbs for that kind of set up, @Tom might have some threads/tips on how to go about it
